ANDIRONS
Scrolled Wrought Iron Antiques                                # 6057

This is an amazing pair of scrolled wrought iron andirons, that are an outstanding example of early forge work. I believe they are from the
Newburyport (MA) area, as there are a number of examples of bootscrapers from there that exhibit many similar characteristics. 
They are one of my all time favorite pair of andirons! These andirons are 17" tall and 16" deep.  In wonderful condition, they date from late 18th Century to early 19th Century.
They are priced at $1650
# 6067  These are a pair of beautifully executed wrought iron knifeblade andirons with brass urn top finials.  They exhibit exceptional file work that is nicely chamfered all around, and with forged out log stops.  They are in wonderful condition and are a great example of early American craftsmanship.
They are 22" tall, and 15" deep.
These andirons are $875

#5714 This is a pair of faceted ball top, goose neck andirons, from the 2nd half of the 18th century.  Being made of all wrought iron, they are amazing survivors in that they have been very much used, and have made it this far and are usable today!  The fascinating thing about them is their extreme state of erosion allows the observer to see the grain structure of the wrought iron.  Wrought iron is very much like wood in that it has a directional grain that a good blacksmith had to be constantly aware of in his work.  If the grain did not follow through, he would have failures in the objects he produced.  These andirons are 17 1/2" tall, and the dogs are 16" deep.  They are a wonderful study in the art of 18th century blacksmith's work.
They are priced at $485

#5661 Here is a pair of very early and rare Scottish so called "Summer Andirons". They date to the 2nd half of the 17th century. These were put in fireplaces in Scotland for use in the summer months to sort of brighten up the place!  They were strictly for decoration, as they are too light for any wood burning.
These are 13 3/4" tall, and 11 1/2" deep.
They are priced at $395

#5696 These are a pair of unusual 18th century "Swan's Head" andirons. I remember admiring a similar pair that Gunnar Holmes had many years ago.
These are a simply beautiful pair of andirons in design, which although being 18th century retain a timeless form.  These are far less than what Gunnar's pair were 35 years ago!  
These andirons are available for $895
